Auditor Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become an auditor in California?

To work as a licensed auditor in California you must obtain a Certified Public Accountant license through the California Board of Accountancy, which requires a bachelor's degree with specific accounting units, passing all four sections of the Uniform CPA Exam, and completing general accounting experience under a licensed CPA. For internal or government audit roles, many employers accept candidates with a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance alongside a Certified Internal Auditor or Certified Government Auditing Professional credential.

How much do auditors make in California?

Auditors in California earn a median of about $97,050 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $61,770 for the lowest 10% to over $160,520 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire auditors in California?

Employers hiring auditors in California right now include Coast to Coast Merchandising and Installations, PICS Inventory Specialists, and Spar, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. California's large base of publicly traded technology and financial services companies, combined with major public-sector agencies and the Big Four accounting firms' West Coast offices, makes it one of the most consistent states for ongoing audit hiring.

Which California cities have the most auditor jobs?

San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco lead California for auditor openings. Los Angeles and San Francisco generate the highest volume because of their concentrated financial services sectors, large corporate headquarters, and the regional offices of national accounting firms, while Sacramento drives steady public-sector demand through state government agencies, the California State Controller's Office, and the state's large network of public universities and healthcare systems.

Are there remote auditor jobs in California?

Yes, and more than most fields. About 49% of auditor openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how much audit work involves reviewing documents, financial systems, and data rather than being present on a physical site. IT audit and internal audit roles at technology companies tend to offer the most location flexibility, while external audit and government audit positions more often require on-site work.

How can I get hired as an auditor in California with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to staff auditor or audit associate roles at California offices of the Big Four and regional firms like Moss Adams and Marcum, which run structured new-graduate programs specifically designed for candidates without professional audit experience. State agencies such as the California State Auditor and the California Department of Finance also hire entry-level auditors through formal associate programs. Completing the CPA exam sections early and earning a Certified Internal Auditor designation while still in school gives candidates a meaningful edge over other applicants.

Where can I find and apply to auditor jobs in California?

You can find and apply to auditor jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current California openings from employers across the state. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your experience and location, and apply directly to each one.
